This review is quite overdue, but i visited this resort with my hubby in Aug 2010 and it exceeded my expectations. The resort is beautiful and amazing. The food is good, but I got tired of it after the 5th day there. The drinks kept coming, the shows were amazing. There was a lot of activities during the day to... More

I stayed at this hotel in April 2012 following 3 nights in Iberostar Parque Central Havana. This hotel excellent. The staff are very hard working and the entertainment is second to none. If you want peace and quiet then there is the beautiful white sandy beach with plenty of sun lounger and thatched umbrellas. There is also beach bars and... More

Stayed here with my partner and this really is a great hotel. It has an excellent location set on one of the nicest beaches I have ever seen. The rooms are spacious and are of a traditional Cuban theme. The food here is excellent with a great variety and the 'mad chefs' who are always singing and dancing give the... More

This is a great hotel for families with kids yet has something for every one of all ages. The rooms are large, clean and well maintained.... More

Mixed feelings – lovely room, beautiful beach front location. However, the food whilst copious was often pretty cheap fast food. The pool was very busy, the nightly shows were offensively loud and for some reason the shows are located next to the very nice, relaxing lobby bar which basically ruined it from about 9pm on every night. Most staff only... More

I think some people will love this hotel and others not so much. I can see lots of reviews from some very happy holidaymakers. Nothing wrong with food or rooms but it was just so noisy. You couldn't get away from the staff on their megaphones trying to persuade people to do water aerobics or something. There were quite a... More
